and of course everywhere you go carry a sharpened knife(were possible) and wear a belt. This may seem a lot to carry but ive got a small tobacco tin with all the items listed in very small zip lock bags(like the ones Big George puts his snelled hooks in) and packed down very tightly and it all fits perfect. look around for people that roll their own cigarettes or smoke pipes, on eBay, flee markets, its not hard to come across one. put everything in the large survival kit in quart to gallon sized ziplock bags to water proof and if possible attach a small brightly colored float to the strap that will keep the pack above water. MOST IMPORTANTLY KEEP THE POCKET KIT SMALL SO YOU ALWAYS CARRY IT AND ITS NOT A HASSLE TO HAVE WITH YOU. IT SHOULD BE SMALL ENOUGH SO YOU CAN CARRY IT AND WITHIN A FEW WEEKS IT WILL BE AN EVERYDAY THING TO PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET WHEN YOU GO FISHING, HUNTING, SCOUTING, HIKING ETC. Also, you should keep one large kit in you vehicle and on in your boat at all times, go back often and replace items that expire such as medicines when they expire. Remember to wrap the pocket kit with water proof tape where there are slits(such as around the lid) to make it water tight. Also, I wrapped my Pocket Kit in reflective metal tape to see it better if dropped and to be used at a signaling mirror if needed.
